LYCON - Love

These guys would be able to reproduce sexually and asexually, a single organism could split itself in two creating identical twins of the same creature or two can get together to mix DNA to create a new variant of the species. Working on another view all pulled back so you can see them in their full interlocked display. Had an idea where they all voltron up into some almost geometric looking pattern/structure for a mass DNA/consciousness transfer/communication. This sort of interaction could be used for reproduction and also transfer of thoughts and knowledge directly to allow the species to collectively learn from each others past experiences etc so that they may all take part in shaping their species future in this alien world.
